C Ronaldo Plans To Stand Up To Sir Alex

(Soccer365.com) Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly planning to inform his Manchester United team next week that his transfer to Spanish giants Real Madrid is "non-negotiable".

A Spanish newspaper claimed that Ronaldo had sent a message to Madrid, which read as follows: "It's OK. Next week, I'll fix everything. I'll go to Manchester and tell them my only desire is to play for Real Madrid and that the decision is non-negotiable."

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has publicly stated that the Portuguese star will not be leaving Old Trafford. The latest update in the saga could put the Reds boss in a very difficult position.

Reports also suggested that Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes was under strict instructions to inform Real that his client is still eager to join them.

i am a big fan of madrid and of cronaldo
anyhow let cronaldo go if he wants to

well i also see sir alex's disappointment because he had made man u. such a succes and honestly i wouldn't want to let him go either

Ronaldo is just another sell out and Man U is a team and they don't need selfish sell outs when they will still win everything without him. Let his crying self go, Madrid is gonna return to the Glacticos anyways and not win anything.

stay in manchester.

C.ronaldo should stay he is at the right place

I don't understand why C Ronaldo would ever wanna leave Man U A.K.A. The European Champions. If Ronaldo is to leave he will only have an average season. He will struggle to get used to the atmosphere in spain, and he is already wayyy behind in preseason training due to his ankle surgery

I really don't believe this.. Alex Ferguson is the greatest coach to ever coach the game and ronaldo has said in the past that Sir Alex is the reason for him becoming the player he is. he brought in nani to help him feel more comfortable and now he says hes going to stand up to him?! listen i don't care if your the best player in the world, Alex Ferguson has won more trophies than any player or coach ever.. thats just ridiculous

plz am one hell of a man u fan.. but now its just 2 much
he can not play for us if he does no want.. guys dont cry.. here we make it happen and they come and go..he is just a part of a body and not the body

Man U will still be good, But 40 goals is a lot to replace

dude c ronaldo will go to the spanish giants and thats FINAL. the mexican national team is awful. They will never win a world cup. EVER

The bottom line should be this; Ronaldo has a contract with United, which he just signed an extension on last summer. He should be a man and fulfill that contract. Does anybody really think Madrid wont want him in five years time?!?! Sir Alex stuck by him when he first arrived in England and everyone was saying his skills got in the way of the team. Sir Alex stuck by him when all of England was pissed off about the infamous "wink" at the World Cup. Be a man and honor your contract.

and he stays.... GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED.

Ronaldo should just stay at Man U. He and other players have built the team so well. The only reason he wants to go to Real is for the money. He is young and that is wat he is after.

WOOT SAUCE!

real happens to be a lot of peoples dream club...especially if your country of birth happens to be right next to spain and you watched a lot of their games growing up. he only extended the contract because sir alex didnt let him leave and he had no choice. let him be where he wants to be, where he will be happy and play to his fullest.

Man U should let c.Ronaldo leave,since is gonna be happy there.And is also a kind of opportunity to sir alex to introduce another style of play,for other teams had recognise us.

Real brain power on display. Thanks for that awsner!
